So I have the following diagram in my car:
Will I have to still need a cable from the starter solenoid to the back of the alternator when I already have a 2-gauge going to the positive end of the starter kill (also to the battery)?
I'm thinking NO correct?
Check out step #17 here:

I'm thinking they do since they have the battery in the front.

you dont.
do you have a newer mini-starter with the solenoid on the starter?
if you do, this is how I have my wiring setup with a 3g alt and trunk batt -
0/1awg from battery + to switch
0/1awg from battery - to quadshock bolt
4awg from 3g alt + to switch
0/1awg from switch to starter
4awg from starter solenoid to the fender mounted starter solenoid to give power to rest of car
the car turns off with the switch this way.

How many amps for the fuse would you suggest?
